Janaki V v/s State of Kerala OTT Release: Here's when you can watch Suresh Gopi’s controversial movie online

Janaki V v/s State of Kerala has found its online home. Suresh Gopi's controversial movie, which had made several headlines over its plot, is set to release online, less than a month after its theatrical release. Released theatrically on July 17, the movie has grabbed a lot of attention over the delay in its release. Reportedly, the release of the Malayalam movie was stalled after the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) denied screening permission. However, the board gave the clearance to the movie with a U/A 16+ certificate. The green light to the release was given after the edits, presumably suggested by the Censor Board, were done.
